Q.1	Farmer Tom is facing decreased crop yields due to erratic rainfall patterns caused by climate change. Which adaptive strategy would be most effective for him to combat this issue?
	a) Implementing traditional farming techniques		b) Developing genetically modified drought-resistant crops
	c) Using chemical fertilisers to enhance soil fertility		d) Abandoning agriculture and seeking a different profession

Q.2	Tim's family planned a picnic near a lake. While they were there, dark clouds formed, and it began to rain heavily. Tim remembered studying about this stage of the water cycle. Which stage of the water cycle did the heavy rain represent?
	a) Evaporation		b) Condensation
	c) Collection		d) Precipitation

Q.3	The diagram shows a simplified version of the water cycle. Identify A given in sketch of water cycle.
	a) Infiltration		b) Sublimation
	c) Transpiration		d) Percolation

Q.4	The team found that the absence of natural vegetation had disrupted the local hydrological cycle, leading to water scarcity in the region. What would be the most effective strategy to restore the hydrological balance in this area?
	a) Introducing more non-native plant species.		b) Constructing more dams to manage water flow.
	c) Restoring native vegetation to improve water retention.		d) Encouraging excessive irrigation to boost plant growth.

Q.5	A city is experiencing a heat wave, and the local power plant is struggling to keep up with the increased demand for electricity. The power plant is considering burning more fossil fuels to generate more electricity. However, the burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. What is the best course of action for the power plant to take?
	a) Burn more fossil fuels to meet the increased demand		b) Implement temporary energy conservation measures to reduce demand
	c) Combat carbon emissions by planting trees and funding environmental projects		d) Invest in renewable energy sources to meet the power need

Q.6	In a city, students were curious about where the power for their home, gadgets and appliances came from. They learned about different forms of energy and how they impact daily life. Which sources of energy were explored by the students?
	a) Solar energy		b) Wind energy
	c) Fossil fuels		d) All of the above

Q.7	This is not one of the possible adverse effects of the phenomena of global warming. Identify this.

Q.8	In addressing the challenges of an overloaded power grid and environmental concerns, which approach strikes a balance between speed, cost-effectiveness, and long-term benefits?
	a) A hybrid approach, combining upgrades to existing infrastructure with the gradual introduction of microgrids, could provide a balanced solution balancing speed, cost, and long-term environmental benefits.		b) Upgrading existing infrastructure offers a faster and more cost-effective solution, ensuring immediate stability and integrating smart technology into established systems.
	c) Decentralised microgrids powered by renewables promote energy independence, resilience to outages, and reduced reliance on fossil fuels, but their widespread implementation might require significant time and investment.		d) Focusing solely on renewable energy microgrids, regardless of the time and cost challenges, is the only ethical and responsible solution to combat climate change.

Q.9	Mia is analysing a research paper on carbon cycle disruption. How does the burning of fossil fuels specifically contribute to upsetting the carbon balance?
